| | Adenosine Receptor Time-Resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TRFRET) Binding Assay |
| Description: | All FRET binding experiments were conducted at room temperature in white 384-well plates, in assay binding buffer containing 1× LabMed (Cisbio, France), 100 μg/mL saponin, 1% DMSO and 0.02% pluronic acid. Binding of the fluorescently labelled Adenosine receptor antagonist XAC (CA200645, FRET acceptor) to terbium-labelled A1, A2a, A2b and A3 adenosine receptors (FRET donors) was detected by time-resolved FRET due to the close proximity of the donor and acceptor in a binding event. To investigate the ability of unlabelled test compounds to bind to Adenosine A1, A2a, A2b and A3 receptors, dose response curves were constructed that determined the ability of a range of concentrations to inhibit the binding of 30 nM CA200645 to the A2b receptor and 100 nM CA200645 to the A1, A2a, and A3 receptor. Serial dilution (1:3 dilutions) of test compounds in neat DMSO and transfer of a 400 nL sample of test compound into the assay plate was carried out using the Mosquito (TTP Labtech, UK). The compound samples were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature with a fixed concentration of CA200645 defined for each receptor (see above) and CHO cell membranes containing the human Adenosine A1 (0.5 μg/well), A2a (0.3 μg/well), A2b (1 μg/well) or A3 (1 μg/well) receptor in 40 μL of assay buffer. Total and non-specific binding of CA200645 was determined in the absence and presence of 10 μM XAC, respectively. Following 2 hours incubation, the level of CA200645 binding was detected on a Pherastar FSX (BMG Labtech, Germany) using standard TR-FRET settings. |
